If you cannot patch yet, avoid using affected versions on 32-bit platforms or in contexts where FrameBuffer::new might be called with unchecked multiplication inputs.

Description

### Summary `jxl-oxide` exposes a public safe API that can construct an undersized `FrameBuffer` due to unchecked `usize` multiplication, which immediately trigger panic while initializing the buffer in normal decoding path. Additionally, calling the safe grouped buffer accessors afterward can create invalid oversized slices from a much smaller allocation, causing undefined behavior; however normal decoding path never reaches UB, because these methods are never used within `jxl-oxide`. ### Impact On 32-bit platforms this can cause panic by accessing out-of-range indices, making it a DoS vulnerability.
